Figure 1.1 Annual U.S. Solar PV Installations, 2000-2014

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION
Solar energy posted another banner year in the U.S. in 2014. Photovoltaic (PV) installations reached 6,201 MWdc, up 30% over 2013 and more than 12 times the amount installed five years earlier. By the end of the year, a cumulative total of 18.3 GWdc of solar PV and another 2.2 GWac of concentrating solar power (CSP) were operating in the U.S. Over 600,000 homes and businesses now have on-site solar (nearly 200,000 of these installations were completed in 2014), and six states are home to more than 500 MWdc each of operating solar capacity.

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION & GTM RESEARCH
The U.S. market remains a rare bright spot in a difficult global solar environment this year. Although global installations should grow overall (GTM Research forecasts 18% global growth in 2012), manufacturer margins remain severely compressed as a result of persistent overcapacity.

US Solar Market Insight: 2011 In Review Executive Summary

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

GREENTECH MEDIA RESEARCH
For the U.S. solar energy industry, 2011 was a historic year. On the positive side, the market for solar installations continued to boom, as the U.S. installed 1,855 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic (PV) solar systems, representing 109% growth over 2010. The fourth quarter of 2011 saw 776 MW of PV installed, by far the most of any quarter in U.S. market history (473 MW was the previous record, set in the third quarter of 2011).

Solar Energy: Economic Impact of Extending the Section 1603 Treasury Program

Friday, October 21st, 2011
Additional Employment Supported by the U.S. Solar Energy Industry in 2012, 2013 and 2016

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION
The U.S. solar market has experienced rapid growth in the last few years and is poised to continue growing over the next five years according to our baseline forecast. However, extending the TGP would significantly accelerate this growth, increasing investment, employment and deployment across the U.S. While an extension would benefit all sectors of the solar industry, utility-scale solar development would see some of the longest lasting impacts due to the long project development process.

U.S. Solar Market Insight: 1st Quarter 2011

Figure 2-1: State-Level Installation Graphic

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION
For concentrating solar, which includes both concentrating solar power (CSP) and concentrating photovoltaics (CPV), the U.S. is poised to become the global market leader in installations. After 20 years of near-dormancy in the industry, many large-scale concentrating solar projects are set to continue their expected ramp-up over the next few years including the expected completion of the world’s largest CPV facility (at 30 MW) expected before December.

U.S. Solar Market Insight: 2nd Quarter 2010

Thursday, October 21st, 2010
Capacity

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION
Nearly all of the top 20 states experienced demand growth in the first half of 2010, although the pace of growth varied highly from state to state. California and New Jersey remained the largest state markets, but nine other states installed at least 10 MW in the first half of the year.

We anticipate that the second half of 2010 will be even stronger than the first. Many projects will rush to commence construction in order to meet eligibility deadlines for the cash grant program, and some of these projects will ultimately be connected to the grid within the year.

U.S. Solar Policy Impact Analysis

Monday, May 24th, 2010

SOLAR ENERGY INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION
In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act created two programs that have helped the solar industry create U.S. jobs and deploy technologies: (1) a cash grant to be used in lieu of tax credits for renewable energy projects (TGP); and (2) tax credits for renewable energy manufacturing investments (MITC). Although the U.S. unemployment level remains high, the TGP is set to expire in December 2010 and the MITC funding allocation has been completely exhausted.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
